El-P: The Overly Dramatic Truth

(1st verse)
I became for you what you had asked, telepath
You're too young to ask out loud, I'm too old to not know that
I can talk like you've not heard, I know weapons, you think words
I exposed you to these terms, you still chose to roll unheard
That could work but, I'm so fast, you're so open, I'm so crass
I'm too weak to hold that back, you still think intrigue will last
You can't imagine of my past, I just can't explain all that
I wish I could trade your place, so romantic full of faith
I must spare you, I must learn, I refuse to be your first
First to put you in your place, first to make you speed your pace
I'm a man now (good or bad), you're a girl still (good for you)
Don't think this don't make me sad, this is something I must do

(Hook)
Keep your own time (leave me be), trying to spare you
Trying to be God melodic, man on fire, Coward long gone, all desire
Fuck you raw now, it's my fault
Fuck you raw dog, I can't stop
Should've listened, should've left
I can't stop unless you jet
It's so simple, open head, I will knit my savage thread
Help me help you, walk away, leave this unamazing grace
You don't know from pure disgrace, you still think I'm here to save
I'm not even really here, I can't give what I can't take

(2nd verse)
What a ride, what a slide under the door, what a score
You think I'm a genius, I know I'm a whore
What a time, what a climb in for our lives, whats in store
You seen lit forever, all I see is war
I will pull your hair back, fuck you on the floor
Pour myself into the act, poor myself, boohoo I'm bad
Cause I know that these moments end, but telling you the truth is sad
You deserve the ignorance of bliss that I still wish I had
Don't you let me keep you here, don't ignore my greatest fear
I need you to not need me, you need not believe just flee
I will put myself inside you, find some way to run and hide you
I can't be responsible, do as I say, not as I do

(Hook)
Keep your own time, leave me be, I'm tryin to spare you
Tryin to be God melodic, man on fire, coward long gone, all desire
Fuck you raw now, it's my fault
Fuck you raw dog, I can't stop
Should've listened, should've left
I can't stop unless your dead
It's so simple, open head, I will knit my savage thread
Help me help you, walk away, leave this unamazing grace
You don't know from pure disgrace, you still think I'm here to save
I'm not even really here, I can't give what I can't take

This is not my ego talkin, I know I'm no perfect draw
And I do love the way you lay there, I do like the way we talk
Maybe I'm just condescending, maybe this thing isn't wrong
Maybe you should lay right there, put your hands up in the air

(Hook)
Keep your own time, leave me be, I'm tryin to spare you
Tryin to be God melodic, man on fire, coward long gone, all desire
Fuck you raw now, it's your fault
Fuck you raw dog, I can't stop
Should've listened, should've left
I can't stop unless your dead
It's so simple, open head, I will knit my savage thread
Help me help you, walk away, leave this unamazing grace
You don't know from pure disgrace, you still think I'm here to save
I was never even here, I can't give what I can't take

(fades out)
You still think I'm here to save
